Up Against Odds: The Story of an Indian Researcher
Hardev Singh Virk*
Visiting Professor, SGGS World University, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India
Abstract
The story of an Indian researcher is the scientific journey of a rural youth who tops in high
school and is motivated by his teachers to study science. It depicts his fight against all odds to
carry out his research activity in India after his training abroad. It is written to inspire other
young Indian scientists who face the dilemma of working in India after their training in world
class universities in Europe or America. It is a personal appraisal of author's own research.

INTRODUCTION
I was born in a small village Majhiwala
Bhuler, in Faisalabad (then Layalpur) district
of Punjab (United India) in August 1941, but
my school teacher recorded it as 23 February
1942, as in our rural areas, no birth registers
were maintained. I was admitted to Primary
School of Kamo Ke Mandi, district
Gujranwala, in March 1947, the year India was
partitioned into 2 countries, India and
Pakistan. I have vivid memories of days of
Partition, our migration to Indian Punjab and
settling down in a village, Chhokran, near
Malerkotla. My schooling started in a one
teacher Primary School at village Lassoi in
1948, with hardly any infrastructure for
teaching and learning.
Learning was by rote and I mastered all the
texts. I topped in Government High School
Malerkotla (1957) and opted to study science
(non-medical group) on the advice of my
Headmaster. My interest and faith in science
grew after reading a popular science book
“The Universe and Dr. Einstein” by Lincoln
Barnett, awarded to me for scoring second
position in First Year of College Physics. I
was so fascinated by the Theory of Relativity
and Cosmology that Einstein became my role
model in life. During M.Sc. at Aligarh Muslim
University (AMU) (1961–63), I became
interested in Metaphysics as well as history
and philosophy of science. After my master
degree (M.Sc.) in physics, my interest shifted
to the study of elementary particles due to
motivation of Prof. P.S. Gill, an authority in
cosmic ray studies at AMU Aligarh. When I
started teaching in Punjabi University, Patiala
in 1965, my favourite subjects were theory of
relativity and particle physics including
cosmic rays.
RESEARCH TRAINING AND
RETURN TO INDIA
My research career started in 1970 when I was
selected as a ‘Boursier’ (Scholar) of the
French Government to pursue my doctoral
research in Marie Curie University of Paris
under Professor Max Morand in Particle
Physics. Our group was working on nuclear
emulsions exposed to proton beams at CERN
(Geneva) and Fermi lab at Batavia. My
passion to find a new particle or a resonance in
high-energy nuclear interactions was so great
that I started working round the clock in my
laboratory. For two years, I worked in perfect
isolation and got frustrated in my research
pursuits. A visit to Rutherford Laboratory in
Cambridge in April 1972 brought me on the
right track and I submitted my doctoral thesis
rejecting the hypothesis of L-meson put
forward by my own research supervisor, Tsai
Chu. My research career has been quite
eventful but I bade good-bye to Particle
Physics after failing to discover a new particle
proposed by Tsai Chu.
I returned to India in 1972 to teach in Physics
Department of Punjabi University, Patiala.
During the seventies, India had no high-energy

Abstract
Po:rag is a post-harvest festival observed by missing tribe of Assam. Drummers and dancers
from nearby villages are invited to perform with their full potential providing wholesome
entertainment to the venue. Po:rag was celebrated with full pomp and show. However, it has
been seen that the intensity of celebration of Po:rag in the present days is decreasing as
compared to the ancient times. So, our study was designed to study the factors that have
influenced the intensity. Hence, a survey was conducted among the missing community with
some questionnaires prepared with scientific viewpoints to analyze the factors that can
influence the intensity of Po:rag celebration. About 87.66% of the total population believe in
the fact of diminishing intensity of Po:rag celebration. The study also suggested that the major
factor responsible for its diminishing intensity is urbanization, reduced responsibility of
youngsters in social activities, less earnings of the entire community and either scarcity or
expensiveness raw materials used in Po:rag celebrations.

INTRODUCTION
Mishing is a tribal community of Assam
belonging to the Mongoloid group—a
multitude of people that followed Austro-
Asiatic races in India [1]. They are one of the
major communities of Assam distributed
among the 9 districts on the bank of
Brahmaputra and her tributaries. Among the
10 districts Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Biswanath
Chariali and Sonitpur lies on the Northern
Bank, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Sivsagar, Jorhat
and Golaghat from the southern bank, whereas
Majuli (largest river island in the world) lies in
the middle of Brahmaputra bank.
Mishing have distinct entities with their
special culture and traditions in Assam [2].
Mishing festivals play a prime role in the
cultural heritage. Among all festivals, the chief
are Ali-ai-ligang and Po:rag. Both the
festivals are celebrated with pomp and
grandeur. As per the Mishing almanac Ali-ai-
ligang is celebrated on the first Wednesday of
the month “Ginmur” or first Wednesday of
Falgun as per Assamese calendar. Literally,
Ali-ai-ligang means first sowing or planting of
roots or seeds where, ‘Ali’ means root, ‘ai’
means seed or fruit and ‘ligang’ means first
sowing or planting.
On the other hand “Po:rag” is a post
harvesting festival of Mishing, which is the
festival of prayers and feast executed with
elaborate program starting on Wednesday
lasting for 5 days. This festival is celebration
is beard by the young adults organizations
called “mimbir ya:me” to appease and get
blessings from the creator, the mother earth
and their fore fathers. It is also called as the
“Nara Singa Bihu”. It is a festival of song and
dances where, both the young boys and girls
put on their traditional dresses and take part in
singing and dancing with the rhythmic beating
of drums. The youth organization makes the
necessary arrangements for the festival, which
a do it in a format called “Daghik”. A grand
feast is organized with large quantities of food
stuffs and drinks (apong) are arranged in

A Study of Vocational Aspiration of Adolescents in
Relation to their Socio-economic Status among
Adolescents
Jipsy Chopra*
Department of Education, Amity Institute of Education, Amity University, Noida,
Uttar Pradesh, India
Abstract
The study investigates vocational aspiration of adolescents in relation to their socio-economic
status among adolescents in Ferozepur, Punjab area. The study used descriptive survey
design targeting three schools, from which 200 students were selected from each schools
using simple random sampling. Data was used using questionnaire. Simple percentage and
frequency count were used to analyze data obtained. From the study, it was clear that the
environment and in relation to that, socio economic status has direct impact on vocational
aspiration of students.
Keywords: Vocational, aspiration, socio economic status
INTRODUCTION
Education is considered to be an instrument
for development of human resources.
According to Kothari Commission (1964–66),
‘In the kind of society in which we will be living
increasingly in the coming years, a complete
separation between educational and vocational
education will not only be undesirable but also
impossible’. Dissatisfaction with existing system
of education is almost universal. We will have to
develop the kind of human being who will be
equipped to maintain and improve free society.
Which stream is to be chosen is very important
at senior secondary stage. The decision that
they take plays significant role in shaping the
future of the student. No two individuals are
alike. They may have similarities on one or
other points. Yet they are to differ from one
another. Court (1925) emphasized that
occupation is very much related to social
factors. So, vocational aspiration and socio-
economic status may be going to play an
important role in joining a particular stream.
SAMPLE OF STUDY
The sample consisted of two hundred
adolescents in secondary schools of Ferozepur.
For this study, two hundred students are
classified into two categories science and arts
stream.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
A study of vocational aspiration of adolescents
in relation to their socio-economic status
among adolescents.
OBJECTIVES
1. To study the vocational aspiration of
adolescents of science and arts stream.

A Comparative Analysis on Issues Concerning
Euthanasia: Legal, Religious and International Position
Hina Kausar1
, Aakriti Porwal2,
*
Department of Law, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India
Abstract
The concept of Euthanasia dates back to the ancient civilization. It basically connotes the
practice of deliberately bringing a person’s life to an end so as to relieve him from
unbearable and never ending pain and suffering. The concept of Euthanasia is highly
debatable. The controversy lies in the question that whether people should be provided aid in
bringing an end to their life, or should they be left alone to bear unbearable pain from an
incurable disease. There have been diverse opinions on the issue of Euthanasia. The
controversy has gained momentum because of the rapid developments in countries like
Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Oregon of USA which have legalized Euthanasia. The
concept of Euthanasia gained heights in India, when the Supreme Court legalized passive
euthanasia in the famous case of Aruna Shanbaug. However, the Apex Court clarified that
active Euthanasia is still ‘illegal’ in India, in the absence of any law to the contrary. There
are both have and have-nots; and whether a person should be anti or pro Euthanasia depends
on the ideology of each individual. The legalization of Euthanasia can lead to more open
scrutiny, without any scope of undue harassment of the patient. Until active euthanasia
becomes legal, it will be carried on clandestinely and there will be scope of misuse. Legalizing
active euthanasia and practicing it within the confines of law would work as a magic potion
and make death a blessing, not a tragedy. This paper highlights the concept of euthanasia in
different religious perspectives, its position in various countries, the debate on legalizing it
and present legal position.

INTRODUCTION
“It is my belief that death is a friend to whom
we should be grateful, for it frees us from the
manifold ills which are our lot.”
(Mahatma Gandhi).
Life is a gift even a painful one is a life at
least. The general presumption is that every
human being is desirous to live and enjoy the
fruits of his life till he lives. However, this
presumption is not beyond debate.
There are certain circumstances where human
beings wish to end their lives by unnatural
means. This happens mostly in the cases
where one is suffering from painful, chronic
and incurable disease.
The intentional termination of patient’s life in
such a situation by an act or omission of
medical care is called euthanasia or mercy
killing [1].
EUTHANASIA: DEFINITIONS
The word euthanasia is derived from Greek: eu
meaning ‘well’, ‘good’ + thanatos meaning
‘death’.
The oxford dictionary defines euthanasia as
the practice of killing without pain a person
who is suffering from a disease that cannot be
cured. The Stedman’s Medical Dictionary
gives a more comprehensive definition and
defines it as the act or practice of ending the
life of an individual suffering from a terminal
illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal
injection or the suspension of extraordinary
medical treatment.
UNDERSTANDING EUTHANASIA
In general it is an act or practice of ending the
life of an individual suffering from a terminal
illness or in an incurable condition by injection
or by suspending extra ordinary medical
treatment in order to free him of intolerable

People Perspective about Evolving, Brains of
Givers or Takers!
Priyavrat Thareja*
Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, GNA University, Phagwara, Punjab, India
Abstract
The psychobiologist’s classification of left brained and right brained people advices how the
stimulus may be designed for ensuring the growth of each type, or, as to how each may be
taught or what vocation be prescribed for them. Viz. the right brained people were seen to
venture more into artistic pursuits and being less analytical might face learning problems. On
the other hand the left or digital brained people are more inside out–growing out, setting up
things as they perceive or in short–demanding (takers) and so on. This paper makes an
account of the three ways of classification of people, and their integration, if any, to allow
them to progress towards excellence. If excellence is the objective, the various inputs should
be well aligned to process them to consummation. The attributes must be put to right uses
which are possibly functions of the people types to derive the best performance out of people
system.

SETTING UP A STAGE FOR PEOPLE
CLASSIFICATION
We classify the people from several directions
viz. from their nature of sponsorship in the
society – some are givers and other takers
(suckers). From the way they conduct their life
cycle process - the ones who only grow, and
others who evolve; and biologically, where
some are left brained and others may be right
brained. These classification may not be made
with any preference or bias. But an
understanding of the same is likely to facilitate
as to how the people of various types be
handled by say a teacher in class or in HRM
(human resource management). The three types
of people (with two splits in each of these) are
likely to show many permutations. The possible
set of traits, from the three classified types as
discussed above, are distributed as
schematically shown in Figure 1.
To read their permutations one could progress
as the hand of a clock, moving out from the
centre, and thus the various sets of
competencies may be read.

Abstract
Collection development is a vital aspect of the library function, which greatly contributes to
the availability and adequacy of resources. The study investigates the assessment of collection
development practices in Afe Babalola University Library. The study adopted a survey
research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study, and
descriptive statistical method was used in analyzing the data collected. The finding shows that
purchase and donation are the major source of acquisition of materials. It was discovered that
the University Librarian and the Founder mostly acquire the materials in the library. The
finding also revealed that there is no laid down policy for acquisition of materials. The
selection method mostly used are vendor’s list and librarian’s link. Finally, the study revealed
that fund is the major impediment for the acquisition of resources. The study, therefore,
recommend that university management should allocate more fund to the library in order to
improve and even distribute its collection.

INTRODUCTION
Collection development in any academic
library is a vital process that will enable
librarians to have a clear understanding of the
nature and progress of information resources
available in the library. Therein, to have a
good and functional library, there is a need for
academic institutions to build a balanced
collection of different areas of subjects
relevant to the parent institution. Collection
development is tantamount to the institution's
growth. Therefore, collection development is
the process of building the information
materials in the library to meet the needs of its
potential users.
In academic libraries, collection development
has been a fundamental process of planning
and acquiring a balanced collection of library
materials in various formats, including books,
digital resources, periodicals, electronic
resources, etc. Succinctly, most academic
libraries in Nigeria are confronted with the
problem of inadequate budget, and this,
therefore, makes it very impossible for them to
acquire new materials in the library. As a
result, this fact, libraries are therefore left with
irrelevant and outdated materials, which come
to the library through unsolicited gifts and
donations. It is very disheartening to note that
such materials, which ought to have been
weeded, are still lying comfortably on the
library shelves. Therein, this study investigates
the assessment of collection development
practices in Afe Babalola University Library.

Historical Perspective on Social Justice
Joseph Nkang Ogar, Bassey Samuel Akpan*
Department of Philosophy, University of Calabar, Cross River, Nigeria
Abstract
From antiquity to date, communal clashes, inter tribal even to global crisis of war is
antecedent by penetration of ill-will, unfair sharing formula of human and natural resources
by a privileged few. This has resulted in high social, economic and political acrimony, hence
the growing calls to reframe the politics of poverty reduction and social protection in
particular, in terms of extending the ‘social contract’ to the poorest groups as people are
getting increasingly aware of injustice. This premise is on the widening gap between the rich
and poor on daily bases. With the increase in awareness, knowledge, technology and the
advent of post-modernist era, the quest for social justice has heightened. All through the era
of Philosophy, Philosophers differ on the definition, and what constitute social justice. Until
now, there is no unifying explanation on what social justice is and consists of. This paper
tends to look into the history of social Justice and different philosophers from different
epochs. It also tried to expose the problems inherent in the definition and what constitute
social justice, and cautioned that complimentary imperative should be employ to curtail
human egoistic tendency that aids social injustice.
Keywords: Social justice, social contract, equality, complimentary reflection.
INTRODUCTION
The idea that 'social contracts' is vital for the
improvement of peoples living condition
should be applauded as an exercise from
rational and moral dispositions. The rise of
social contract talk appears from an attempt in
regularizing and achieving better results in
governmental issues and wealth re-
distributions globally. The social
contractarians are of the opinion that in the
‘state of nature’ human beings came together
in agreement to surrender some of their basic
rights to a sovereignty who will in turn protect
them from oppression or any form of injustice.
This is probably the main reason that births the
formation of civil society. Despite government
formation, it seems as if there is still no lasting
solution to the problem of injustice in our
societies. Down the ages of political thought,
various philosophers have differed on the
concept of social justice. This paper tends to
expose views and expose the problems
inherent in social justice in general.
SOCIAL CONTRACTARIAN
The issue of freedom is the inspiring power
behind the social contract theorist. Numerous
social contract philosophers concurred that in
the state of nature individuals have physical
flexibility, implying that their activities were
not limited, this made them a minimal more
than animals and where slaves to their instincts
and impulses [1]. Humans as of that time had
no legislature and no law to regulate them.
There were hardship, exploitation, war and
injustice in the society [2]. At the height of it,
humans decided to come together to surrender
some of their entitlement and rights to a
sovereign—a sovereign is the voice of the law
and the outright power inside a given state.
The duty of a sovereign is to checkmate the
limitations of individuals in the state and aid
social justice. The first insight into social
contract theory arose in European political
thought in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
century. Social contract philosophers for
example, Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau –
pointed out slightly different views of social
contract theory to distinguish the legitimating
grounds of political power, whereby the
commitments of rulers and subjects are based
on an introduced contract or contracts
identifying with these matters [3]. Social
contract thinking likewise ran past worries
with setting up the true legitimate reason for
